the recent mass shootings in colorado and kconnecticut have people calling for new gun control laws nationwide. now an east bay lawmakers says she believes one key may be better regulation of the sale of bullets. nbc bay area's marianne favro joins us in our newsroom with more on this newly proposed california bullet bill. >> reporter: raj this would make sweeping changes to help prevent criminals from stockpiling bullets and require everyone to jump through a lot more hoops first. the massacre in newtown and other mass shootings have prompted a call for big changes to help curb gun violence and today a california legislator is answering that call with a proposal to put stricter regulationses on ammunition sales in california. >> when 2,800 californians were killed last year due to gunfire

californians have purchased millions of guns over the last decade. at the same time gun related injuries and deaths have dropped. in tonight's reality check, sam brock goes behind the numbers to see if there's really a relationship between increased gun ownership and lower crime. >> jessica, it's an argument that has been made for years now. it's come back to light in newtown, armed with well intentions and everybody is safe, so the logic goes. inc california we had our lowes homicide rate in 45 years in 2011. gun sales reached a 20-year high. while the two statements are 100% fact, they hard ly tell th entire picture. as you probably know, firearm sales across the country have spiked. the trend that's been playing out in california the last three years where sales have been climbing but over the last decade it turns out californians have purchased fewer guns than they did in the decade prior to that. according to the doj california averaged 406,000 gun sales

annually between 2002 and 2011 compared with 452,000 guns sold each year 1892. and when were the banner years for gun sales? take a look at that. california peaked in 1993 when the homicide rate was 1 it.9%. the second highest year on the list, when the homicide rate dipped to 4.8%. and the third highest year in 1994. some 600,000 weapons and saw a homicide rate of 11.5%. so what do these numbers tell us? that the crime rates have been dropping over time in california regardless of gun sales. the total amount of violent crime is down in california like it is for the rest of the country. but here is one final telling he fact of the homicides committed in this state the last ten years, every year the percentage committed by firearms is between 71% and 74%. guns might make it safer and

crime is down in california but there is no hard statistical data that proves one of these statements directly links to the other. sam brock, nbc bay area news. back to you. >> okay, sam, thank you. new details about the mass shooting in kcolorado. relaxed and detached. those are some of the details emerging describing james holm moments after police say he opened fire in that packed colorado movie theater. his preliminary hearing got under way today. officers held back tears as they recounted the horror of that day inside the aurora, colorado, movie theater. 12 people died. 70 others were injured. they said he was very relaxed after the shooting and told them his apartment was bobby rapid. he faces the death penalty. president obama appears ready for battle after appointing a republican to be the next defense secretary. the president has nominated former republican senator chuck hagel l. ironically the biggest opposition may come from hagel's own party. several republicans are attacking hagel for criticizing
